A Hero of the Hoodlums.
Yankee Blade.

The United States has sent many distinguished tourists from Its own shores to those of Great Britain--men of historic achievement aud literary rcnown--m men like Franklin, flaw thorne, Lowell. Emerson, Holmes, Longfellow and General Grant; but never has traveller from the Western Continent received on British soil such a welcome as was accorded, a flow weeks ago, to an American tour ist from Boston. This man, who was received with such tumultuous dem. onstratioRs of joy that the crowds who rushed to sce him blocked up the streets of London and impetiea tho traffic of the worlds metropolis for hours, was not distinguished tor his intellectual protundity, for his states manlike achievements, or for his mill tary renown. He would mako sorry figure in discussion of philosophy with Herbert Spencer. tete-d-tete talk on literature with Tennyson. or in chat on political economy with Gladstore; and yet Gladstone or Tennyson, or Herbert Spencer have none of the crowd-dawing magnet ism of John l., Sullivan.
 The Saxon race still inherits from its old Viking torciathers worship of physical force; and to millions of our race the man who can stand up single handed and defy auy man in the world to "eome on" and lick him is the suprcmest hero. Tho pugilIstic ehivalry of the playground k not confined to schooi-hoys hy any means; and though in this age of gunpowdcr and dynamite guns physical giant, for purposes of protection and de- fcnse, is no better than dwarf or a cripple, yet there k still n great latent admiration for the individual, who In an unwcaponcd battle with the fists, can stand up and square off" with any man in the world.
 With certain classes of men the physical giant Is still the only hero.
 There arc millions ot people In every civilized country to-day who know nothing of civilization. Tine ac- cumulated literature of 5000 years Is a scaled book to them. They arc not the heirs of all the agcs from the fore most files of time, ns the poet has mistakenly sung, and all tho knowl- edge they possess k gained by tho ex- periences of their own short span of existence. Only indirectly do they draw upon the accumulated intel lcctual stores of the race, and the nt tutaIn,, ha hna handed down to us by the worlds great monarchs of thought k never inherited by them. They pay no at- tention to the development of the in- tellect, and their entire lives is n struggle to satisfy their physical de- sires.
 lt Is not strange that to such men n great physical hero, like John l.. Sul- livan, should be tbe ideal of all that is desirable In manhood. Sullivan k the king of the lloodlums. He cxcites the same awe among them as Hercules the dragon-slayer probably ' excited among the worshipiDg savagcs of the infant world.
 Sullivan. since he has made himself the focus of the worlds attention, has exerted depraving influence that has been widely extended. Tho giorIh- cation of mere brute physical force is always barbarizing. Sullivan Is re. ally very small man with large muscle. When small man is made hero, all his worshipcrs arc thereby made smaller than he.

New Plymouth Graphic.l

New Plymouth Graphic.l
Last week, while visiting rela.
tiv es and friends i'll Hooking CO
it was our pleasure 10 visit The
County Intirmary and The Chill
dren's Home.
We were conducted through
the Infirmary by the genial Su-
perintendent, Mr.. A. Murphy,
who took great pains in showing
us all that our curiosity wished
to see. including the cellar with
It's Ten barrels of kraut, potatoes
and other things in proportion,
and the meat house with ITS fif-
teen barrels Of meat, and all 9th
er eatables that the keen appe-
tites Of the inmates would desire.
Everything was In the best of
order and the inmates were well
clothed and provided with warm
apart Besides, a state of
cleanliness pervaded the instiiu-
ton that is not always found in
such places, which gives abun-
dant proof that Mr.. Murphy is
the right man for the place.
Passing to The Home, which is
but a short distance, we were
shown through and then permit
ted TO see the children march to
the dining hall. at the table
they exhibited degree of man
ners that it might be we'll for
other children to initiate,
But what impressed us most,
and what we started out TO say,
was the children's Christmas
The generous people of Logan
were not slow to respond TO the
impulses OF their benevolence,
and two loads of presents were
sent cut for the little orphans at
the Home; one through the in
strumentality of Rev. David r
Moore, pastor of the Presbyterian
churce, and the other by the
SENTINEL staff. Such a sight,
About IS pounds of candy, dolls

mos. nuts, marbles, DC.
1t was grand sight 10 see the
children. If they ever realized
their helplessness and dependent
condition they seemed now to
forget it all AMI only remember
ed that Christmas comes but
once a year.
We were a.ked if the children
at the Home in Vinton county
had any Christmas, and we had
to say that we never heard of it.
If the merchants Of all towns ad-
jacent to such institutions would
follow tie example set by Lo-
gan, the inmates of our charita-
BILE homes would each year learn
that "Unto US a Savior is born"

1t is a pleasing commentary on some of the
aldermanic candidates when people in their
own wards ask, who is he?
Since the passage of the high license bill
Brother Saterlee has not been heard from. He
is doubtless sharpening his voice against the
opening of the campaign.
There are Republican candidates for alder
men in the Fifth ward, and 1t is now believed
that each one of the five or six dozen voters
of that party are in the field.
Somehow no one seems inclined to give S.
Fl. Baker credit for being sharp schemer.
Nowadays man is sharp only when ne is not

was giveIr notice to leave. He refused to

him to seek other climes. Since then moth

AFT Err FIFTY YEARS
Gilbert Sly, of Richland Township,
Meets His Sister.


Before the days of railroads Gilbert Sly
emigrated from his New 7 ork home to the
West. Moving from place to place his
family lost sight of him. and as years
brought no tidings he was given up for
dead. Mr.. Sly finally settled in Richland
township, five miles south of Minneapolis,
where he now lives at the advanced age of
SO years. In time his hrOtherS and sisters
married and left the old homestead, one
sister. Mrs. Martha Lobdell. moving
to WOnewOc. Wis. where she now re-
sides. For fifty years she had not seen or
heard of her brother Gilbert, but by some
means her son, William Lobdell, who is a
conductor on the Milwaukee road. learned
OF his uncle's whereabouts. Mr.. Lobdell
had been a resident of Minneapolis twenty
years, and his Uncle Gilbert had been living
within few miles of him all the time.
neither knowing of the others presence
until week or two ago. AS soon as the
brother and sister, who had been separated
fifty years, heard of the welfare of each
other, there was wild desire to meet again.
Mrs. Lobdell, who is 70 years old. came at
once to her son, and ON Thursday the old
lady was taken in carriage to her venera-
BILE brothers home. The meeting is de-
scribed as pathetic in the extreme. The old
people, locked in each others arms. with
kisses and inarticulate words and binding
tears. welcomed each other as from the
grave. The old gentleman was prostrated
with emotion and had to be carried from
the room. He soon revived, however, and
now cannot bear to have his sister out of
his sight. The old lady was also very
much moved. She will remain with her
brother at least month.

A Successful Entertainment by the
George N. Morgan WOman's Re.
lief Corps.
The George n. Morgan relief corps gave
an entertainment last evening that was
attended by an audience that occupied
every inch of space in their hall. The pro-
gramme consisted of recitations and vocal
and instrumental music. short speech by
Commander Mortimer and a summary of
the work done by the Morgan corps during
the past quarter. The corps was organized
IN 1884 with membership of fifteen women.
There are now sixty three members in good
standing. During the past three months the
relief committee has made titty-three calls
upon needy soldiers or their families. One
hundred and nine Thousand dollars and
seventy seven cents has been expended for
neceSsaries. besides a large amount of cloth
ing. groceries and fuel that has been do
mated. The corps has III ali cases carefully
investigated the eases that have come
within their work, and none but the de-
serving have received aid. The winter has
been severe one and the calls on the corps
have been urgent, and at times difficult to
meet. The report was read by Mrs. Will
lam Lobdell, and was a carefully prepared
and interesting document. Following the
programme substantial supper was served
by the ladies' and the remainder of the
evening was devoted to general sociabillty.
The proceeds of the entertainment will be
devoted to the work of the corps.
